Yeah, I remember you are a teacher. And yeah, high school is in that age bracket where young people are having big identity issues so there is over and under compensation going on all over in their lives.

I do wonder if it is a bit less theses days since society is much more open to some of the issues that were completely untouchable in my day in junior/senior high years late 60s early 70s. Then again, with the backlash from so many, it might be harder too.

Depends on the community, but kids nowadays are less judgmental about LGBT classmates than my generation ever was. Usually, LGBT kids catch flak from the adults in the school, like girls who are told they can’t wear tuxes to the prom, or can’t ditch the stupid drape some yearbook photographers insist they wear, or the gay footballers whose photos are excised from the yearbook.
